Making a player vanish for 1 second.

So I have made a plugin which is called the ghost plugin it tps a player to themselves to sync the client-side:

Here's my whole code:

Code:java

package me.Schnel.Ghost;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Sound;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class main extends JavaPlugin{
 
@Override
public void onEnable(){
getLogger().info("Plugin Enabled");
}
 
@Override
public void onDisable(){
getLogger().info("Plugin Disbled");
}
@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ghost")){
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(player.hasPermission("ghost.*")){
Location location = player.getLocation();
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.ENDER_SIGNAL, 7);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 5);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.SMOKE, 3);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.EXTINGUISH, 1);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playSound(location, Sound.EXPLODE, 5, 3);
String ghost = "tp " + sender.getName() + " " + sender.getName();
Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), ghost);
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "You have been tp'ed back");
return true;
}
}
return false;
 
}
}
 

So where should I put it? Also what should I do for the only vanish for like 1 second?

 

have a runnable un-hide them after a second?

 

Still don't quite understand this, would I be required to create a new class?

Any help anyone?

Code:java

for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers(){
pl.hidePlayer(player);
}
Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(*instance of main class*, new Runnable(){
public void run(){
for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers(){
pl.showPlayer(player);
}
}
}, 20)

^ It is 20 because there are 20 ticks in a second.

 

Making it a method:

Code:java

 public void HidePlayer ( final Player p, int secs ) {
p.hidePlayer( p );
 
for ( Player p2 : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers( ) ) {
p2.hidePlayer( p );
}
 
getServer( ).getScheduler( ).scheduleSyncDelayedTask( this,
new Runnable( ) {
 
@Override
public void run ( ) {
p.hidePlayer( p );
 
for ( Player p2 : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers( ) ) {
p2.showPlayer( p );
}
 
}
 
}, secs * 20 );
}

Example usage:

Code:java

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand ( CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label,
            String[] args ) {
        if ( cmd.getName( ).equalsIgnoreCase( "ghost" ) ) {
            HidePlayer( (Player) sender, args[ 0 ] );
        }
        return false;
 
    }
 

 

So would this work:

Code:java

package me.Schnel.Ghost;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Sound;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class main extends JavaPlugin{
 
@Override
public void onEnable(){
getLogger().info("Plugin Enabled");
}
 
@Override
public void onDisable(){
getLogger().info("Plugin Disbled");
}
@Override
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ghost")){
final Player player = (Player) sender;
if(player.hasPermission("ghost.*")){
Location location = player.getLocation();
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.ENDER_SIGNAL, 7);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 5);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.SMOKE, 3);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.EXTINGUISH, 1);
player.getPlayer().getWorld().playSound(location, Sound.EXPLODE, 5, 3);
String ghost = "tp " + sender.getName() + " " + sender.getName();
Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), ghost);
sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "You have been tp'ed back");
for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
pl.hidePlayer(player);
}
Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
public void run(){
for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
pl.showPlayer(player);
}
}
}, 20);
return true;
}
}
return false;
 
}
}
 

It came up with this: Unexpected exception while parsing console command "ghost"
org.bukkit.command.CommandException: Unhandled exception executing command 'ghost' in plugin Ghost v1.0.3
Anyone know why it comes up with the error?

 

I got the same error as you, it had something to do with my plugin.yml. My guess is that you check your plugin.yml.

 

Before I added the scheduler it was working fine in game...

 

You literally just told us what the issue was...

 

Yes but I want the scheduler to hide the player for a second so I was wondering on how to fix the scheduler...

 

Oh gotcha. My bad! I'd type up some code but I'm on my phone. I can help you later if you haven't figured it out by then.

 

I doubt I can figure it out within the next 10 hours xD

 

Lol. Well I'll be home in 10 minutes so..

 

Oh k, thanks Sorry if this is a very nooby mistake

My last piece of code was horribly indented so I decided to fix that

Code:java

package me.Schnel.Ghost;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Sound;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class main extends JavaPlugin{
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
        getLogger().info("Plugin Enabled");
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
        getLogger().info("Plugin Disbled");
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd,    String label, String[] args) {
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ghost")){
            final Player player = (Player) sender;
            if(player.hasPermission("ghost.*")){
                Location location = player.getLocation();
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.ENDER_SIGNAL, 7);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 5);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.SMOKE, 3);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.EXTINGUISH, 1);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playSound(location, Sound.EXPLODE, 5, 3);
            String ghost = "tp " + sender.getName() + " " + sender.getName();
            Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), ghost);
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "You have been tp'ed back");
            for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                pl.hidePlayer(player);
                }
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
                            public void run(){
                            for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                            pl.showPlayer(player);
                            }
                        }
                    }, 20);
            return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
 
    }
}
 

And YAML:

The vanish doesn't work

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You cast the sender to a player without actually checking if it's a player and then proceeded to run the command from the console?

Also, instead of using the /tp command, you can use Player#teleport(Location) or Player#teleport(Entity) instead.

 

I don't really understand the first bit also Player#teleport(location) comes up with errors...

Code:java

package me.Schnel.Ghost;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;

import org.bukkit.Effect;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Sound;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class main extends JavaPlugin{
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
        getLogger().info("Plugin Enabled");
        getLogger().severe("Uh oh! The plugin is DEAD!!! (or broken)");
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
        getLogger().info("Plugin Disbled");
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd,    String label, String[] args) {
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ghost")){
            final Player player = (Player) sender;
            if(player.hasPermission("ghost.*")){
                Location location = player.getLocation();
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.ENDER_SIGNAL, 7);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 5);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.SMOKE, 3);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playEffect(location, Effect.EXTINGUISH, 1);
                player.getPlayer().getWorld().playSound(location, Sound.EXPLODE, 5, 3);
            String ghost = Player#teleport(location);
            Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), ghost);
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_GRAY + "You have been tp'ed back");
            for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                pl.hidePlayer(player);
                }
                    Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
                            public void run(){
                            for(Player pl : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                            pl.showPlayer(player);
                            }
                        }
                    }, 60);
            return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
 
    }
}
 

 

NDUGAR That is the method, not something you just type in to make it work. The method is teleport, it accepts either an entity or location, and it is in the class Player.

 

Thanks, I finally understood that, and also why isn't the vanish working?

raGan. any help on the vanishing mechanism?

NDUGAR
Well you have to tell us what isn't working and any errors you get..

 

The command runs perfectly fine apart from the fact that the player doesn't vanish for 3 seconds -no errors in the console...

So in short, it works; but when I use the scheduler for creating the vanishing effect... Any help?

NDUGAR Remember the rule about bumping.

 

Sorry but do you have any help for me? Instead of reminding me the rules, you could help and then add that helpful suggestion that is very off-topic... Thanks anyway... But I just really need help with an explanation, unless you can do that, please don't say anything that isn't useful mediocrely and I understand that rules are rules, but instead of saying this to me send your inquiry to a mod.
